The computational biology team at St. Jude has published the latest on GenomePaint, one of the visualization features in the St. Jude Cloud platform, in the January issue of Cancer Cell.
GenomePaint is a web-based, interactive visualization platform for whole-genome, whole-exome, transcriptome, epigenome and 3D-genome architecture of tumor samples. Its use, outlined in the Cancer Cell paper (10.1016/j.ccell.2020.12.011), captures the inter-relatedness between DNA variations and RNA expression, supporting in-depth exploration of both individual cancer genomes and full cohorts.
The development of GenomePaint began in 2017 when a research team led by Dr. Zhang was compiling pan-pediatric cancer genomic landscapes for the NCI TARGET project (Clay McLeod mentioned it nearly a year ago while giving Bio-IT World updates on St....
